VIRUS_URGENT

[griffitt at email.arizona.edu]

I checked and this is not a virus--it is a hoax that makes the rounds
periodically--the jdbgmgr.exe is actually a file that's supposed to be on your
computer (but furtunately, one that you may not really need unless you do a lot
of work with Java)--I've attached a links to sites that discuss it and will
tell you how to reinstall it if you've deleted it.
